When we say ‘princess cut’ or ‘round brilliant cut’, we refer to the shape of the diamond rather than its cut attribute. Shape alludes to the actual physical outward appearance of the diamond. For example: round, emerald, or pear. In contrast, the ‘cut attribute’ speaks about the proportions of the diamond. Quality of cut depends on the balance of proportions between the various parts of a diamond.
